This is a transcript and radio interview I did with CBC’s The Current.
A sense of relief and mystery has replaced weeks of fear in a remote northern Manitoba community where a lengthy cross-Canada hunt for homicide suspects Kam McLeod and Bryer Schmegelsky ended Wednesday with the discovery of two bodies, says Tessa Vanderhart.
Yet a central question remains despite the apparent outcome for the men suspected in the grisly northern B.C. killings of three strangers: What motivated these tragedies?
It’s unclear if this answer will ever come.
Vanderhart, a reporter for the Winnipeg Free Press, believes the fugitives may have taken their secrets to the grave.
“Unfortunately because of the way that this ended, I don’t know if people will get that closure,” she told The Current’s guest host Laura Lynch.
